CGI has been developing for years in the film industry. From Westword (1973) using 2D computer digitalized images to Total Recall using motion capture for CGI.

This rise of CGI effects a lot of people in the film industry:

- Set Building

Advances:
Mocap and Percap (motion capture and performance capture) began to be used in recent years to capture movements of the face the same way Gait analysis captured movements on the body.
It started of with about 60 dots around the face to capture movement then advanced to 6 million dots (done using flecks of fluorescent paint)

Digital makeup has a lot of implications for makeup artists nowadays. Lots of characters who are very complex which would have once been done with makeup are now done with special effects afterwards. Even fashion makeup nowadays can be done digitally.
